Rivera was scheduled to retire at the end of the 2012 season, but he postponed retirement after he suffered a torn ACL in his right knee last May while shagging fly balls before a game in Kansas City. In 18 years with the Yankees, Rivera has compiled a major league record 608 saves and 892 games finished. He was a key member of five World Series-winning teams.
